Application Recommendations:

• Perform a patch test on a small area of skin before using the toner on the entire face to check for any potential allergic reactions or sensitivity.
• After cleansing your face, spritz the toner directly onto the skin or apply it with a cotton pad.
• Allow the toner to air dry before applying your serum or moisturizer.
• Use morning and evening as part of your regular skincare routine.

• The percentage of Elderberry Extract can be adjusted based on the desired potency of the toner. Start with the recommended percentage and adjust in future formulations if needed.
• When incorporating Elderberry Extract into other cosmetic formulations, ensure it is added during the cool-down phase to preserve its beneficial compounds.
• Consider the pH stability of your final product, as natural extracts can sometimes affect the overall pH. Adjust the pH if necessary for optimal preservation and skin compatibility.
